Please refer to the list of organizations with matching gift programs. If making your gift online, please mail the matching gift form (including your name, address, class year, date and amount of gift) to Deerfield Academy, P.O. Box 306, Deerfield, MA 01342.

Gifts from IRAs

If you are over age 70 ½, contact your IRA administrator for instructions on making a direct transfer that will be free of federal income tax.
If you are between ages 59 ½ and 70, you may be eligible to make a penalty-free withdrawal from your IRA. This withdrawal will be subject to federal income tax, and possibly state income tax; however you may be eligible for a charitable deduction to offset the taxes. Check with your IRA administrator or financial advisor.
